[PART SOLVED] Random j, k characters appearing on lines. A vim issue?
Hi There,
I recently noticed that when scrolling around a file using the keys j and k in normal mode that random j and k characters appear at the end of lines. Initially I thought this was a terminal issue so I switched terminals, no luck. I removed all erroneous crap from .vim, no luck. I have googled around a bit, and it appears this is a known issue with jslint, but this is occuring with no plugins. Ctrl-l removes the random characters, and they don't appear to be getting written to the file, but it is annoying non the less.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

I have seen something similar when pressing "O" to start editing on the previous line. The O appears on the file as though I was in insert mode for a second, then vim starts behaving normally and enters insert mode on the previous line. I don't know what is wrong, but it seems to only happen just after starting vim, not after it is running for a while.

Thanks for the reply. In my case, it appears more frequent when you scroll back and forth over pages using j and k. I haven't noticed anything with the 'O' command but I will keep an I out. I haven't been able to find the root cause of this, nor have I found any 'real' fixes so I either deal with it or use emacs with VIM bindings. I'll consider this closed.

Which version of vim are you using? Is this an issue with the latest version of vim available in the arch 'extra' repository?
